<p>Thank you, SOE, for making the PvP in this game worth logging in. I love the PvE side of EQ2, love the lore, in a roleplaying guild on Nagafen, and so glad I have seen this game mature to what it is now. </p><p>I have never had so much fun in this game. Enjoying it all on several alts.</p>

<p>It is far worse on Vox where the Qs out number freeps by 20 to 1. Good luck soloing those raids of players. I have seen the qs siege and defeat all 4 CL towers in under 3 minutes.</p>

<p>My last WF, Qs on Nagafen completed the whole event in no more than 5 min. Numbers are a huge problem atm.</p><p>Imo, the problem sprouted roughly around the time Onyx went Q, go figure eh. If the devs don't do something soon about the imbalances, Qs will be getting those "win" tokens for not even fighting. The majority of FP have given up for one reason or another, lag, numbers, spending 30 min and not even get the 5 token reward for losing.</p>

<p>Its the KP zerg except now the Grays are welcome to come out and leech. zone lag is only made worse by these people that are hiding behind level restrictions and then jumping into every fight just to get a hit.

I have always been suprised that people will still use the same old tired, Freeport or Qeynos is just filled with crap players. that's just delusional. You'll find that they are filled with equally terrible players with a few good ones sprinkled in. The victories are so lopsided because of numbers, nothing else. At this point, if you really wanted tokens, it'd be more beneficial to just make a Q.. get to level 10 and then run around and smack people while the mass of people zerg everyone to death. Then when you're sufficiently tokened up, just betray. I mean, its the same token on both sides after all.</p><p>Think about that. That's how stupid this system is atm.</p>
